Well-trained in both the legal and
business implications of employee complaints, Puente’s staff of licensed and experienced
attorneys is skilled at conducting discreet investigations (on everything from everyday employee relations problems to
harassment, discrimination, and other serious complaints) in both English
and Spanish. Our investigators communicate with employees at every level (from top executives to line employees)
with ease, building trust and comfort with them during interviews regarding sensitive topics.
Based on the
philosophy that actual fairness and the perception of fairness are crucial to effectively
managing employer relations, we provide objective assessments, are capable of anticipating
and resolving issues that could arise in the event of litigation, and, more often than not,
help to avoid litigation altogether. Our expert professionals navigate the complexities of
today’s employment issues for you and, whenever necessary, can help guide your company back
to compliance and restore workplace harmony often lost during an investigation.
Because of our expertise, Puente has trained hundreds
of HR professionals, executives, managers and supervisors on how to conduct investigations. Puente’s President and CEO, Patti Perez,
“wrote the book” on investigations having authored both a comprehensive toolkit outlining the
critical steps of conducting a workplace investigation and a chapter for the
prestigious Advising California Employers and Employees,
a legal reference manual for attorneys and HR professionals. Ms. Perez has also been retained by both plaintiff’s and defense attorneys as an expert witness
on issues involving the adequacy of workplace investigations.
